A convicted football hooligan has been jailed for a racist and "unprovoked" attack on Manchester City and England winger Raheem Sterling, reports BBC Sport.

Karl Anderson, 29, pleaded guilty to racially aggravated common assault after Sterling was attacked outside City's training ground on Saturday.

The court heard Anderson already has 25 convictions for 37 offences, including football-related violence.

He has been jailed for 16 weeks and must pay £100 in compensation.

Anderson, who kicked Sterling four times during the assault, said he "lost his temper" and was sorry for his actions.

He abused the City player using racist language, as well as telling Sterling he wanted his wife and child to die.
